Page 2 of 3 <br />The Division has the following comments in review of the 2012 ARR: <br />Page 2 of the ARR identifies the total number of acres approved to be disturbed and the total <br />number is reflected on the ARR form. Minor Revision No. 260 is omitted, which approved 53 <br />acres of new disturbance. <br />Please identify if the 5.3 acres approved in MR -260 should be included on the ARR form. If <br />this acreage is omitted, please provide the Division with a revised 2012 ARR form that <br />identifies the correct number of acres. <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(f) - Map 29 delineates Areas Reclaimed, which includes backfilled, graded, and <br />revegetated areas. However, the Areas Reclaimed do not identify the date of planting for <br />previously revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />Please provide information that provides the location and date of planting for all previously <br />revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />Below is the Divisions' comments of the 2011 ARR review: <br />Rule 2.04.13(1) - please ensure that the Annual Reclamation Report is received by the Division by <br />Feb 15, or other such date as agreed on. <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(c), Rule 2.04.13(1)(d), Rule 2.04.13(1)(e) - Map 29 delineates Areas Reclaimed, <br />which includes backfilled, graded, and revegetated areas. However, the Areas Reclaimed do not <br />identify which year the reclamation occurred, per Rule(s) 2.04.13(1)(c), 2.04.13(1)(d), and <br />2.04.13(1)(e). <br />Please provide information that provides the location and date of planting for all previously <br />revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). Addressed in 2012 ARR <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(e) - requires that the ARR include text, discussion and maps which address the <br />species, location and number of acres of vegetation planted during calendar year 2011, including <br />any augmented seeding or cultural practices. Discrete areas planted with specific seedmixes <br />should be indicated, and seedtags, invoices, or other comparable documentation should be <br />included. <br />The Foidel Creek Mine 2011 ARR identifies 39 acres of augmented seeding during 2011 and Map <br />29 delineates areas that have been reclaimed. However, the 2011 ARR does not provide <br />comparable information discussing species or proof of seed mixes (seedtags or invoices) and Map <br />29 does not identify locations seeded in 2011, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(e). <br />Please provide comparable information discussing species of vegetation, location of revegetation <br />conducted in 2011, and any information discussing seed mixes utilized in revegetation efforts in <br />2011, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(e). Addressed in 2012 ARR <br />Rule 2.04.13(1)(f) - Map 29 delineates Areas Reclaimed, which includes backfilled, graded, and <br />revegetated areas. However, the Areas Reclaimed do not identify the date of planting for <br />previously revegetated areas, per Rule 2.04.13(1)(f). <br />
